Occasionally reading books, or watching movies I pick up little gems that make me wonder if the writer got really lucky, or if they are just that smart or profound.

I don't know if that line was one of those "deep thoughts", but it also got my attention when I watched the movie, which I thought was pretty good, better than Bruce Almighty, actually.


I had a thought once (yep, just the one). I had been laid off and was working in a crummy job, but it was paying the bills. The customers that I was serving mostly sucked and the environment sucked. I hated the job, but you do what you have to do. One night, the customers were particularly annoying me and I was particularly hating the job. And then I had a thought. I thought that I need to change my attitude, be more humble, less superior, and more tolerant. No matter how many problems someone has or what your impression is of the person, they can always teach you something. There's always something that you can learn from everyone. And if you imagine that everyone can teach you something, then your attitude towards that person should reflect that they can be your teacher.

Maybe some of you agree, maybe not.
